Lend Us the Wit

Lend us the wit, O God,to speak the lean and simple word:give us the strength to speak the found word, the meant word; grant us the humility to speak the friendly wordthe answering word. And oh, make us sensitive, Godsensitive to the sound of the words which others speak-sensitive to the sounds of their words- and the silences between.
